Hollywood warns staff off movie-news bets.

The Hollywood Reporter and Decrypt report that studios and production companies are warning employees not to use insider information to bet on prediction markets. The warnings cover casting news, release dates and earnings—details an employee might know through work. But telling staff not to bet is one thing; finding the bets is another. Experts cited by The Hollywood Reporter say there is almost no way to stop the practice, while Decrypt describes enforcement as difficult. The boundary is clear. The hard part is seeing who crosses it.
